Sister... is there anything I can bring you?

[gotgreenmagic]

I don't think there's anything that'll help.

[buywithme]

Maybe I could come and see you? I could bring soup? Or gin? Or maybe grapes?

[gotgreenmagic]

I quit drinking. And that other stuff won't help.

[buywithme]

...I could bring you some blankets? Do you like music? Or yoga? Maybe we could meditate.

[gotgreenmagic]

...

I do yoga, but I dunno that I can take the idea of you doing yoga.

[buywithme]

I've done yoga for years, Sister. It's important to keep your body functioning at a high degree of suppleness.

[She's going to go back to this in a few days and be genuinely surprised this whole conversation wasn't a hallucination :c]

I - I know. That was probably more important in my job than yours.

[buywithme]

[It is a little surreal :c]

I don't know. My job involved a lot more dancing than you might expect.

[gotgreenmagic]

I -

I thought your job was subjugating the workforce or something.

[buywithme]

Yes. There was a lot more dancing in general than there is here.

[gotgreenmagic]

...

Oh, you're from one of those kinda places.

Huh. I never knew that about you.

[buywithme]

What kind of places? People dance in all kinds of places, Sister, I've seen them doing it on television.

[gotgreenmagic]

I kinda thought you meant 'dancing in general' like how Judas and the bat kid came from worlds with a whole bunch more 'singing in genera' than there is here.

[buywithme]

Well, maybe I did come from a place like that, but it's different to the singing. Singing all the time gets in the way of doing normal things, and it always seems like everyone has to stop and pay attention to it, and it's just awkward, Sister.

Dancing in general is just a better way of moving from place to place. I used to do it here, but... I phased it out a few years ago. Mostly.
